Stand Up! For the Bay is coming! It’s looking to be an excellent event this year! We’re partnering up with South Slough, which will likely swell our numbers! Therefore, we’re going to need a bit more manpower than we’ve had in the past. I’ve made a list of all the jobs we need filling. In general, these are broken up into 2 hour shifts, with a couple 3 hour shifts (if I get enough volunteers I can shorten these).

Check out the list and let us know if you can fill any of the shifts. Also, feel free to pass this on to anyone you may feel would be interested in volunteering.

Arrive at the event early (7:00) to help set up signs and registration table. Check in with Annie or Carmen about setup. Check people in as they arrive. There will be a master list of registered people. They have already paid and have shirts waiting for them. Check them off the list, hand them a bracelet, let them know it gets them their plate of food. Give them their shirt (they are marked with names). Let them know to stay around the boardwalk until the beginning of the rout is signaled by the bull-horn. Let them know who will be leading the paddle. Let them know about the garbage bounty. Give them their handout, which includes a map of the rout.
